[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-5267?page=all ] Magesh Kumar B updated JBAS-5267: --------------------------------- Help Desk Ticket Reference: https://enterprise.redhat.com/issue-tracker/?module=issues&action=vie... Description: We have a class that converts HTML to PDF using Xalan and Apache FOP. The process involves xerces lib also. we have a requirement to use libs compatible with our FOP release. (xerces 2.7.1, xalan 2.7.0 etc). When those libs and bundle in a WAR, it works fine, class loading seems OK and our libs are correctly loaded by our class. No interferences with jboss libraries. But when we bundle the libs in a EAR and a EJB jar (ClassPath set in Manifest) we can't get out a ClassCast exception. We've tried all options of isolations without success. I've found a clue for you at IBM. Not sure if it can apply to jboss http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0310_sea... was: We have a class that converts HTML to PDF using Xalan and Apache FOP.
